i firmly believe that its a betrayal of your own humanity not to speak against a genocide thats been reported on daily and inescapably for a month. none of us are free until palestine is free and avoiding or feigning ignorance to their cause over it being a heavy or 'controversial' topic is nothing short of heartless & spineless i have no respect nor understanding for anyone standing stock still quiet on the sidelines
T3RF$ need to stop co opting black woman terms
Womanism doesn't equate to using your T3RF logic to harm trans woman, womanism has always been the term for black feminists to talk about the misogynoir we face, it is a black EXCLUSIVE label .
You do not have to be me in order for us to fight alongside each other. I do not have to be you to recognize that our wars are the same. What we must do is commit ourselves to some future that can include each other and to work toward that future with the particular strengths of our individual identities. And in order to do this, we must allow each other our differences at the same time as we recognize our sameness.

Keep fighting the good fight!
When I see plastic surgery like this, I don't feel disgust for the women. I feel disgust for the society that convinced them their noses are not beautiful

Her name was Samiya and she was brutally stabbed in the neck and chest before she was taken to a New York hospital with her sister Sanyia (who had been stabbed in the arm), where she did not survive her injuries from her neck and chest. These sisters were just at a store, and this predator FOLLOWED them after he was rejected and attacked them. He waited for them -and he's still not caught. This is just absolutely horrifying.
Misogyny fuels violence against women -and this very clear epidemic is killing young girls and women.
I cannot imagine the degree of entitlement you think you have to anyone's time and bodies- that anyone could hold that much disdain for rejection, and is okay with exerting power, control, and violence upon another person because YOUR ego is bruised. Fuck toxic masculinity and dismantle the patriarchy until it burns to the ground because I'm so sick of seeing this.
I wish all the best to the family and loved ones of Samiya. This young teenager should still be here. And I hope the man who did this gets apprehended and faces endless misery and misfortune in his lifetime.
